Bea, you continue to amaze me with your videos, sir. You are truly an inspiration, and in my opinion, best spokesman that neural DSP could ever hope for! Keep rocking, mate! I don’t know about everyone else who has watched this video, but I didn’t know who you were five months ago, and now you have risen to my top three favorite guitarist of all time! Keep up the great work!
Awesome plugin. I bought one few days ago. In my opinion best and versatile thing that I've played! Thanks Rebea, I choosed it by ur overview. Greetings from Russia
Hi mate, your videos a great! And your playing is beyond this world! I have a question.. is it possible to interchange pedals between the diferent amps from Neural DSP? For what I see each amp comes with certain pedals and no one talks about placing the Abasi pedals on the Forting for example. Cheers from Chile!
Damn this just sounds so good, especially with your baritone 👌 , amazing playing as always though, Love the Fortin pedals, hope you get those to review too.
@aaron With Pod farm you could sound better even at an axe fx level or Kemper, this fortin nameless is a good product like the others, the problem is not the plugins but the way to use them and many times The lack of mixing knowledge is the one It causes several to talk about pests of other companies. I could show you that Pod farm can sound like a valve amp and is a product of more than 10 years ago. If you want without compromise we do a test with Pod farm and fortin nameless and try to get a high quality gain tone can be Metallica and see which of the two sounds closer.
Øystein Hov actually that is not entirely accurate. Our CEO and founder is the same. But we are separate entities. There’s a lot of collaboration between both engineering teams of course.
Oh is that the case! then im completly off on this! i was positive your podcast host said it during the beau burchell episode, I must have misunderstod :) Thanks for enlightening me
I never have the presence really above 2. And the treble around noon. Gain 2 makes it sound less saturated and more high end focused. So just be careful when dialing it in
@@jorge0358 I use a ribbon mic and a sm57. Have the sm57 louder and have it around the cone. Then have the ribbon on the edge of the speaker. Tweak around the mics until you find a good balance. Then I do a low pass and high pass. Cut out up to 100hz and 10k hz for a start.
My 2 cents. I bought Native Instruments Guitar Rig many years ago, and at the time it was baller with all the tone options you could get out of the plugin: all those amps, cabs, effects, pedals etc. Unfortunately it hasn't gotten many updates through the years and in my opinion the amp sim plugins technology has evolved incredibly recently. With regards to distortion in particular, if you compare the high gain tones to other plugins that came after Guitar Rig, like Positive Grid Bias FX, JST Toneforge, Overloud TH3, Fortin Nameless or Line6 Helix Native, there's no game. I bought Bias FX, Toneforge Misha Mansoor and the Fortin Nameless, and tried the demo versions of Helix Native and Overloud TH3: long story short, I haven't been using Guitar Rig for at least two years now. Probably if you're more into clean / ambient sounds and don't want to invest in separate reverb / delay / chorus plugins, you can get away nicely with GR; however if you're a metal head, give the competitors a shot: Toneforge and Fortin don't have a trial version as far as I can tell, but you can try out fully working versions of Helix Native and Overloud TH3 (also BiasFX has a demo version). Trust me you'll easily hear the difference.
Roberto Stocco Thanks for the reply dude that gave me a bit of insight into what I should do. When I got GR I wasn’t really a metal head, played more acoustic stuff than anything but as times gone on I’ve fashioned a love for a great sounding drive so I’ll definitely be sure to check out the plugins you mentioned and see what suits my needs but after watching a few videos on this plugin and Helix / BiasFX I think that’s the route I’ll go down. Really helpful reply, I appreciate it!
Peter Murphy I love some of the effects in Guitar Rig but the amps sound suuuper dated. There's lots of great options out there these days. For my money: The best clean tones & Archon are the Waves PRS Supermodels The best crunchy Marshall tones, and bass tones are Amplitube 4. Tied for best bass tones is also Logic's Bass Amp Designer, that plugin is way better than it has any right to be. Best "amp sim" high-gain/djenty tone is the TSE X50. Best, most realistic metal tone is the Fortin Nameless. All of them benefit massively from a good 3rd party impulse (except the Nameless, the stock impulses are incredible). It will be night and day. Helix Native will do in a pinch if you want something that sounds good and covers all bases. Bias sounds horrible. The Misha Mansoor plugin is nowhere near as good as it should be. Never use Amplitube for high-gain tones. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Ilian Petit I like the Spark but it seems to be lacking in top-end bite for me. Sounds a little smoother than the Amplitube models but, to me, it sounds more like an amp sim. A lot of the Amplitube stuff sounds pretty dated as well but the Classic British Collection, to me, sounds the most like a real Marshall of anything I've tried ITB. But the Spark is great and Mercuriall's Tube Screamer emulation is the best ITB boost pedal I've ever heard.
Yeah, it sounds better than this plugin and also feels a lot more direct when playing...I only say that because I've tried both offerings and went for the U530, but the Reaxis is pretty damn cool too. But they've also come out with SS-X11 A and B pedal recently that sounds all right too... The thing about them all though is that the only way you can calm their noise down is with a gate that makes it really sharply managed...but I personally liked the Mercuriall stuff. Nothing from Fortin, but it's definitely this new sharp mid sounding tone that lacks warmth or saturation that I tend to enjoy. But I am also into finding a crushing metal tone, rather than a clear crusty djenty thing...but I also mix my U530 with a couple EZ Mix settings. I want to look into the Two Notes IR cab software too...see if it will compress some of the crunch.
woocifer talk to me about noise?! I’m learning to use these high gain amp sims and get crazy white noise even with no guitar connected to the interface. You have the same experience?
The plugins can be really noisy if you have the drive up high and the presence cranked as well. The white noise, is it shapeable? As in can you change EQ settings and the white noise sounds different? If so it might be a driver thing or some way your DAW is set. But I'm shooting in the dark here...I use Reaper, turn on the VST, make sure my input is set to the proper one on the interface, click the monitor on, pick a preset that sounds somewhat the gain I want and then fiddle around until it's good. There is definitely a high gain noise, but that is basically what an amp speaker would sound like that CRANKED as it's an actual amp. On the ReAxis I was able to use the noisegate to calm that shit down pretty well. On the U530 I've had more difficulty because I don't have the pedal effect that comes with Reaxis. However if you use a Gate or Noise Suppressor, you can get some pretty good results. But I'm just getting to know these plugins as well...but if its JUST white noise, I'd suggest reinstalling your divers and maybe changing the buffer size for the ASIO.
Thanks for checking it out Rabea! Glad you enjoyed it!
Rabea: I could go on about this for hours. Me: please do

Dude.
Not only is the content great, but the editing is excellent, really seamless (at 5:22 for instance) . Props to John.
Ilian Petit thanks man :)
Pleaseee make that intro a full song cause holy shit that was good!
Another quality video Bea! I would love if you could do a video on the basics of how you mix! Your demos always sound killer. Keep it up!
Yo Bea. This was on point. Man I'd appreciate a full length track of that intro. One of the sickest tunes I've ever heard.
Sick! I'm glad you used the baritone.
Way better than JST
lol no :P
..nah, in all seriousness tho.. NO!
@@simpirx Admit it, this is way better!
Good to see the N4 making more regular appearances again. Do you still have the Padauk one? that sounded HUGE
Awesome plugin. I bought one few days ago. In my opinion best and versatile thing that I've played! Thanks Rebea, I choosed it by ur overview. Greetings from Russia
Great demo of a great product. Loved it after 13:45. :)
Great demo Rabea, glad you showed a "normal" guitar style not just Metal, cheers.
Aaahhh!!! That baritone! I've got shivers...
That intro maaaaan 😱😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥 full song ?
Yes please!!!
Neerav Gupta I second that. Consider this thread a petition.
You always bring the tasty licks 🤘🏼
You're my favourite guitarist rabea!

FULL SONG OF THE INTRO PLEASEEEEE!!!! This is the first time I hear you doing such a diverse solo. Badass!
I mean, it sounds good, but Rabea could plug into a pinecone and make it sound good
Daren Walker Fair point.
The only thing I wish was if switching between cab IR was easier 🤙
THE best metal amp plugin. period.
I personally think that the Reaxis is pretty much the best at everything, and I'm COMPLETELY going to buy their ss11b model.
@aaron
With Pod farm you could sound better even at an axe fx level or Kemper, this fortin nameless is a good product like the others, the problem is not the plugins but the way to use them and many times The lack of mixing knowledge is the one It causes several to talk about pests of other companies.

Nameless or NTS for rhythm guitar playing?
I'm really surprised at the price! Fantastic value for money
oh my god that intro song, fuck me dead. perfection, i need it.
That chord progression (3:15) is sick !
I kind of hope they come out with a cool Marshall plugin
wheresallthezombies There does seem to be a shortage of high quality JCM 800 type plugins in the market.
A little correction: neural DSP is actually a sister company of Darkglass 👍
Øystein Hov actually that is not entirely accurate. Our CEO and founder is the same. But we are separate entities. There’s a lot of collaboration between both engineering teams of course.
Oh is that the case! then im completly off on this! i was positive your podcast host said it during the beau burchell episode, I must have misunderstod :) Thanks for enlightening me
Some decent Meshuggah vibes here
holy shit man that intro is killer
Hey Rabea! What do you like more? The Toneforge or the Nameless Suite? What is your opinion?! Thanks...and rock on! Krisz
Sorry Rabea, but it's not only the plugin! You f*cking rock! What an awesome player!!! I wish I had your skils, man! :)
That into was outstanding mate. What scale was that solo in?
I'm not totally sure, but at first listen I hear some melodic minor and maaaaybe some diminished, but I'll have to actually analyze the leads to tell
@@Danny_Aniss Richie Blackmore used a gypsy scale wich sounds similar but not exactly the same.
Hi Rabea, what did you use on drums? Riffs are awesome as always!
Can you make more videos with different plugins for example clean amps and effects to create ambient sound? Nice playing as always :)
Holy shit that intro jam
Sounded badass!
Great playing! What POST FX do you use other than a low pass?
Heyy rabea what up¿ man nice video, by the way, can you tell me which scale are you playing at 0:16¿ keep it up dude you are awesom
Fuck man that tone!
For some reason I can't really control the high end very well on this amp. The distortion gets too bright almost no matter what I do, it feels.
I never have the presence really above 2. And the treble around noon. Gain 2 makes it sound less saturated and more high end focused. So just be careful when dialing it in
@@gibsoadstudios648 what eq, mics and placement would you recommend for a more focused tone for Death Metal?
@@jorge0358 I use a ribbon mic and a sm57. Have the sm57 louder and have it around the cone. Then have the ribbon on the edge of the speaker. Tweak around the mics until you find a good balance. Then I do a low pass and high pass. Cut out up to 100hz and 10k hz for a start.
@@gibsoadstudios648 thanks for the recommendations!
Well this is all fine and dandy, but I can't wait for that Super Kraken Demo...
Nice one. Thank You!
Holy shit that intro was heavy as fuck.
2:48 Love your interpretation of Beverly Hills 90210😉 Great vid man👍🏻
Holy shit. Video after video of next level riffage with that plugin suite.
How those plugins reacts on playability dynamics? Any experience? :-)
That solo was very Opeth!
FUCK!!! Is this going on Grinding Gears #2?
what gauge of string do you use ? btw awesome demo
Should check Mercurial plugins :)
which one is the best? Archetype Plini, Nameless or STL Tonality Will Putney suite?
Can you suggest me good plugins for a great clean guitar sound?
No reverb or delay?
Rhythm guitar playing Nameless or NTS?
Looking closely at your apollo interface, why do you set the volume at highest?
Better than Scuffham S-Gear 2?
What scale did you use for the intro ? Cuz it was realllll crazy.
Does anyone know what’s on his shirt ?
Holy god damn shitttttt
So in the end witch is more brutal for today brutal music like Brutal Death Metal and Deathcore
Nameless or NTS?
Dugi Devet Perhaps a blend of the two?
what a sound card to you use ?) snx
This is an early release version with no Noisegate
is there a way for you to upload your presets?
I'm surprised this isn't demonetized for being DISSGUUUSSTTING
I like to see that first signature guitar of yours in your hand.
That intro doe....
🤘🏻
Can you share your presets?
I've bought it in pre-order phase. Money well spent.
Sounds good, but nowhere near as good as SLT's Howard Benson suite.
How does this compare to something like Guitar Rig? If I already own Guitar Rig is there a big benefit to buying this?

How do you get rid of the latency that comes from the program? Sorry Im an idiot ik.
Set in Snow use ASIO4ALL and set it to below 512 kHz ... latency issues have nothing to do with the programs
Ye gods, that was heavy as a brick in a black hole.

Please try to make a tone on bias fx, you've got such a stupid level to make tones that I'd really like to see your take using it.
that intro riff made me shit my pants
how do you use effects with it do you use other plug in's
Put your pedals Infront of your Audio-Interface and your reverbs after the plug-in
Open it in a daw as a vst and put some fx in the track
Just got my first reverb
Drop A?
The amp sounds a bit too fizzy and thin to my taste
meshuggerah
Kinda wonder what Bea might thing about the Ignite Amps stuff...
getting some strong Jakub Zytecki vibes with this one
Got some limp bizkit vibes in the opening riff
masugera
MA-SUGAR ;)
For me sounds like an real amp in mix.
I didn't know you could upload this kind of filthy content and keep monitization on youtube these days :^)
But seriously, that sounds rad af
This video could be copystriked for saying too many good things on this plug in..... 🤣🤣🤣
Oilid 😂
more like the filthiest guitar intro ever
D.I. Signal shouldn't sound pants. Just sayin'.
Not sure if sounding pants is good or if you were being sarcastic, but in any event...
Sounds pants.
The intro was just.. irresponsible. I'm very OK with this.
DI. Sounds PANTS haha
